No, the total amount of interest expense reported over the life of the bonds will not be the same if the bonds are issued at par, premium, or discount. When bonds are issued at a premium, the effective interest expense is lower than the nominal interest payments, whereas, for bonds issued at a discount, the effective interest expense is higher than the nominal payments. Thus, the total interest expense recognized will differ based on the issuance price relative to par value.

The price of existing bonds will drop in price until the bond provides a yield similar to comparable newly issued debt.
